Revision history for Perl extension ExtUtils::CBuilder.
0.18 Sat Mar 25 13:35:47 CST 2006
- Yet more fixes for arg_defines() on VMS. [Craig A. Berry and John
E. Malmberg]
0.17 Wed Mar 15 22:46:15 CST 2006
- When we're being run from an uninstalled perl distribution
(e.g. one that's in the process of being built and tested), we
search for perl first in the current working directory. [Randy
Sims]
- More fixing of the arg_defines() method on VMS. [Craig A. Berry and
John E. Malmberg]
0.16 Mon Mar 13 17:08:21 CST 2006
- Fix quoting of command line arguments on Windows. [Yitzchak
Scott-Thoennes]
- Provided a custom arg_defines() on VMS that does essentially the
same thing for /define that version 0.14 did for /include. [Craig
A. Berry]
- Documented the existing 'quiet' parameter, which silences the
printing of system() commands. [Suggested by Yitzchak
Scott-Thoennes]
0.15 Mon Oct 3 17:10:32 CDT 2005
- Several OS/2 fixes have been made, including: 1) adding the
necessary version string to DLLs, 2) passing the executable's name
to 'ldopts' without the .exe extension, 3) avoiding calling 'env'
via the 'shrpenv' thingy, since it triggers a fork() bug. [Ilya
Zakharevich]
- Integrate a couple cleanup-related changes from bleadperl that
somehow never got into this copy. [Steve Hay]
- Added a new 'defines' parameter to compile(), which gives a
platform-independant way to specify various -Dfoo=bar (or the
equivalent) compiler defines. [Randy W. Sims]
0.14 Mon Sep 19 13:40:37 CDT 2005
- Several fixes have been made for VMS, including: 1) there can only
be one /include qualifier, so merge multiple /includes into one; 2)
make sure the executable is named the same way that dynaloader will
look for it; 3) make sure the option files for the exported symbols
and the PERLSHR image are passed properly to the linker. [John
E. Malmberg]
0.13 Wed Aug 24 20:05:59 CDT 2005
- Several temporary files weren't being cleaned up during testing,
because the 'cleanup' mechanism was never properly implemented.
This is now fixed. [Steve Hay]
0.12 Mon May 30 16:40:10 CDT 2005
- In order to integrate into the perl core, patches were contributed
that a) put a $VERSION variable in each .pm file, b) add a 'quiet'
parameter to new() to shut up some of the command-echoing, c)
checks for the perl source headers in the CORE/ directory in the
perl source tree, not in the post-installation location, and d)
adjusts the CWD when running the regression tests under the perl
core. [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes]
- Various parts of the code were looking for the CORE/ directory in
$Config{archlib}, $Config{installarchlib}, and $Config{archlibexp}.
Only the latter is correct, so we use that everywhere now.
[Curt Tilmes]
- For Unix-ish platforms, link_executable() will now prefer
$Config{cc} to $Config{ld}, because that typically works
better. [Jarkko Hietaniemi and H.Merijn Brand]
- Prelinking (invoking ExtUtils::Mksymlists to create options-files)
is now only done when we're building dynamic libraries. [Yitzchak
Scott-Thoennes]
0.11 Tue Apr 5 20:58:41 CDT 2005
- Added a licensing statement to CBuilder.pm. [Spotted by Chip
Salzenberg]
0.10 Mon Mar 14 20:18:19 CST 2005
- Split out a few simple routines that format how compile switches
are formatted, so that we can override them for platforms like VMS
where they're very different.
- Fix compile() and link() on VMS. [Help from Michael Schwern and
Peter Prymmer]
0.09 Tue Feb 8 17:57:41 CST 2005
- Fixed a broken link_executable() method on cygwin - it now uses
'gcc' instead of $Config{ld} for the linking, because the latter is
actually a shell script which calls a perl script which calls gcc
in a way that only works for creating shared libraries, not
executables.
0.08 Tue Jan 18 21:54:11 CST 2005
- Fixed a testing error in which I had the prototype wrong for the
main() function. [Jose Pedro Oliveira]
0.07 Wed Jan 12 21:50:34 CST 2005
- Added the link_executable() method, which provides the ability to
create standalone executables. This is NOT yet implemented on
Windows, and therefore the tests for it are skipped on Win32.
[Alberto Manuel Brandao Simoes]
- Integrated the latest split_like_shell() for Windows from
Module::Build (really need to find a better home for this code...),
which now does a much better job of handling quotes and backslashes
and so on. [Randy Sims]
- Fixed a couple of Windows problems related to the output-file name
in link(), and some clobbering of the 'include_dirs' parameter to
compile(). [Randy Sims]
0.06 Mon Dec 27 22:51:36 CST 2004
- Fixed a bug on Unix environments in which our work-around for
shell-commands like "FOO=BAR cc" (which is supposed to be turned
into "env FOO=BAR cc" to actually work) wasn't being called.
0.05 Wed Oct 13 23:09:09 CDT 2004
- Fixed a bug in split_like_shell() in which leading whitespace was
creating an empty word, manifesting as something like "gcc - no
such file or directory" during tests. [Spotted by Warren L. Dodge]
- Incorporate another split_like_shell() fix from Module::Build.
0.04 Sun Oct 10 00:31:08 CDT 2004
- Changed the split_like_shell() method to use the shellwords()
function from Text::ParseWords (a core module since 5.0), which
does a much better job than the split() we were using.
0.03 Fri May 14 23:12:23 CDT 2004
- Fixed minor problems with the Build.PL file, the module names
should be quoted.
- The VMS module declared itself with the wrong package name.
0.02 Fri Feb 20 10:17:40 CST 2004
- Fixed a bug in .../Platform/Windows.pm, in which compile() was
ignoring an 'include_dirs' argument. [Randy Sims]
- Fixed a bug in .../Platform/Windows.pm, in which output files were
being created in the root directory \ when they should be created
in the current directory. [Randy Sims]
0.01 Mon Jan 12 08:12:35 CST 2004
- Original release, taken from Module::Build's C-building code, with
patching help from Randy Sims.
